Umm Shurayk relates that Allah's Messenger peace be upon him
ordered the wazagh to be killed, and he said: "It had blown on (the
fire) of Abraham (peace be upon him)." [Sahh al-Bukhr (3359)]

The animal in question is a type of house gecko known in Arabic by the name wazagh.
It is a common household pest in the Middle East
that lives on the walls and in the crevices of people's homes.

The instruction to kill the Lizard (wazagh is for
the same reason ' it is a pest that poses harm to people. If a lizard comes in
contact with the skin, it can sometimes induce serious irritation. For this
reason, it is also known to Arabs as smm abras (literally, "the
leprosy venom").

It is not killed because of its blowing on the fire kindled for Abraham (peace
be upon him). When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) informed us that the lizard blew upon the fire of Abraham (peace be upon him) to help fan the
flames, he was merely depicting the distastefulness of the animal and the
extent of its harmfulness. He was merely characterizing this species as an
unpleasant one.
